My title this shall be,

To join Thy white-robed train,

When humbled worlds shall bow the knee,

And Thou alone shalt reign.

Jesus! how much Thy name unfolds

To every opened ear;

The pardon'd sinner's memory holds

None other half so dear.

Jesus!-it speaks a life of love,
And sorrows meekly borne ;
It tells of sympathy above,
Whatever sins we mourn.

It tells us of Thy sinless walk
In fellowship with God;
And, to our ears, no tale so sweet
As Thine atoning blood.

This name encircles every grace

That God, as man, could shew;

There only can the spirit trace
A perfect life below.

The mention of Thy name shall bow
Our hearts to worship Thee;
The chiefest of ten thousand Thou,
The chief of sinners we.

EAST.
